I have not done a wired camera but if I were going to, I think I would utilize a 4 wire pair of cable like you see on boat trailers. Put an connector suitable to your camera for the video feed (usually an RCA Yellow plug) on the end near the camera, pick up a Hot and Ground (Splice in) for two of the other 4 wires and run to my rear bumper. Get a plug mount that attached to the bumper with a weather tight cap, just like if you were installing a trailer hook up. Make your connections there when you connect your trailer cord to your truck.
Then run the second part through your trailer frame, back to your fridge, up through the chase for your fridge vent and along your roof to the top rear of your trailer. Mount your camera on the center rear of the roof and make your HOT/Ground and video connections and then tape down your wire running from the fridge vent to the camera with eterno-bond tape to keep it from moving/flapping around, just like they do for solar wire installs.
